When the topic of using Twitter for business comes up, most people would automatically get into utilizing it to promote your brand or connect with customers. And while the microblogging site is indeed great for self-promotion and talking to customers, don’t forget that it’s equally important to listen to what others have to say.

As an entrepreneur, it’s extremely important to learn about the most innovative business tools out there. After all, your customers deserve the best and most up-to-date services out there, and the only way to give them that is to keep yourself educated and informed about what’s happening in the industry.

Thankfully, there isn’t a shortage of brilliant coaches and websites out there that are more than happy to help entrepreneurs like you succeed. And while you may not have the time or budget to get in touch with all them and enroll in every single business course or software that they offer, a quick and easy way to get instant knowledge from them is through Twitter. Following the right people on Twitter will enable you to get tons of bite-sized insights and entrepreneurial advice.

This blog post will highlight a few Twitter accounts that every online entrepreneur will find useful. It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in; if you’re working to have more online success, then be sure to have these accounts in your Twitter stream.

What better way to learn about entrepreneurship than from people who’ve done it themselves? Andrew Warner is the founder of Mixergy, a site that offers courses and interviews from successful entrepreneurs. He interviews successful founders on a regular basis and picks their brains so that listeners can hear about their experiences and lessons. Warner has already interviewed a lot of great minds out there, including Groupon founder Andrew Mason, Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia, Barbara Corcoran of the Corcoran group, and many more. Check out his site and follow him on Twitter to make sure that you never miss an interview again!
